Zaklodzie meteorite, Stony-iron meteorite in Zaklodzie, Poland
The Zaklodzie meteorite consists of 60 percent orthoenstatite, 20 percent meteoric iron, 10 percent troilite, and 10 percent feldspar with accessory minerals.
Stanislaw Jachymek discovered the 8.68-kilogram meteorite in 1998 while searching for fossils near a dirt road in the Lublin Voivodeship region.
The meteorite location connects to a potential fireball sighting from April 21, 1897, which aligns with its weathering patterns.
Scientists examine the Zaklodzie meteorite at research facilities to study its physical properties and mineral composition through specialized laboratory equipment.
This meteorite serves as the type locality for two minerals, browneite and buseckite, while its classification remains subject to scientific debate.
